2018 Wheels to Prosper Initiative Underway

Probst Auto Body, Webster Tire & Auto Service and CW Motorsports are teaming up once again in the nationwide Wheels to Prosper event on September 15. The Wheels to Prosper initiative awards a worthy and deserving person from the community a car that has been fully serviced and in good working condition.

There are more than 65 shops participating in the Nationwide Car Giveaway Program across the country. This year’s event is scheduled to take place on September 15 from 5pm to 7pm at Probst Auto Body located at 101 Norb Avenue in Dieterich. The winner will be announced at 6pm.

Media and the public are invited this special event. The recipients are not made aware that they have won prior to the announcement. Likewise, the nomination letters that share their stories of dedication to the community are always an emotional part of the surprise. Nominations for the 2018 event are currently being accepted until September 1.

To nominate an individual, please submit to: EffinghamCountyWheelsToProsper@gmail.com or by mail to any of the three participating businesses.

"This is my 7th year participating in Wheels to Prosper." said Mark Probst. “It makes me proud that we are all family-owned businesses stepping up to make a difference,” Probst continued.
